About the Role
Our Purchasing Manager will be responsible for designing, planning, and implementing sourcing and purchasing strategies. This role has responsibility for all current and to be established entities on a global basis. In addition, this role will also manage all components of the accounts payable function (to the extent that a solid control environment allows of course). The Purchasing Manager will work with suppliers and internal departments and will report into our VP, Global Controller.
This is a very key and foundational addition to an accounting team that is being built from the ground up. Leverage your prior experiences and build things the right way in a very fast paced growth-phase SaaS startup!
Position Responsibilities
Design, implement and maintain a global purchasing function from scratch, including the creation of purchase reqs/orders and the processing of vendor invoices
Engage and establish business partnerships with cross-functional leadership across the organization to collaborate, influence, and drive purchasing strategies
Work closely with Legal and Accounting teams to ensure compliance and controls across purchasing agreements and processes
Measure and assess contract cost performance vs. negotiated terms
Gather data and analyze spend history to find efficiency and reduction opportunities
Track renewal dates and help facilitate renewals in a timely manner
Work closely with business owners and vendors to prioritize and monitor efficient and cost-effective negotiations
Analyze purchasing data and metrics and provide reporting and recommendations to stakeholders and leadership
Interface with our external auditors
Ensure all tax filings are done in a timely and accurate manner
Build a strong control environment and work with an eye towards future SOX compliance and always keep change management frameworks top of mind
Maintain a constant state of urgency and flexibility and keep an eye towards future scalability
What We Look For
7 – 10+ years of relevant experience with a mix of public company and private company (startup) work
Track record of either building or heavily influencing the build of a purchasing function, from processes to people and ultimately systems
Experience with global arenas and ability to support localizations
Proven negotiation skills
Hands on experience in budgeting and purchasing management
Strong project management experience
Excellent communication skills with the ability to explain complex subjects in a clear and interesting manner
